Those are not my words Chris. They came from DOD. I said I was not going to get into a debate about this Chris. And I'm not. You believe what you want and I will believe what I want.

QuoteA Senior US Official tells CNN 10 hard drives, 5 computers and more than 100 storage devices which includes discs, DVDs and thumb drives were taken from the compound.


What remains of al qaida is scurrying like cockroaches when you turn on the light...

I wonder if there are some high-level Pakistani leaders whose buttholes are puckering a little bit right now too.

No doubt... unless of course bin laden really liked porn...
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

The Pakistani leaders are going to be in a real bind.  They were either complicit in hiding Ben Ladin or their vaunted military and intelligence services are going to be revealed as clueless buffoons who can't find their behinds with both hands on a clear day.

Either way we should stop sending them a billion dollars a year.

1000 feet from their own version of West Point and they didn't know!?

While I am not an Obama fan at all, I will take him at his word on this. Why? Because if this really is a lie and someone, somewhere down the road uncovers the truth, Obama would not get re-elected and probabaly wouldn't even be able to get a job as a dogcatcher. He is not a stupid man.

Does the term "WMD" ring a bell :)

Yes ,,,that was Dubyah's broken record during his entire term at the Whitehouse.

And umm..... Where exactly were those WMDs ?    I never knew anything at all about those being found.

Then post the DOD's words for us. Otherwise your ship sunk before it left the dock.

And, FWIW, saying "I'm not going to get into a debate" after dropping some absurd nonsense doesn't accomplish anything other than signaling to everyone else that you're not only wrong, but that you actually knew you were wrong when you said it, and are now just trying to foreclose others from pointing out that you haven't (or in this case, can't) back up your viewpoint. Absurd.

The snopes piece confirms that approximatly 550 tons of yellow cake urainium were found, secured, and transported out of Iraq by the US.

Right, but it was already known to us.  It wasn't what Colin Powell told us, that which we were told was coming from Niger.  

To put it another way: this wasn't what we were told about in order to sell the war to the American people.

Whatever you say.  I was just pointing out a fact.

No, you were obscuring the truth.  You said we "found" it.  That's not true.  We knew it was there.  

See:

Later, U.N. inspectors documented and safeguarded the yellowcake, which had been stored in aging drums and containers since before the 1991 Gulf War. There was no evidence of any yellowcake dating from after 1991, the official said.

Jimmy, at the risk of "obscuring" the purpose of this website, let me correct you.  The material was documented and secured by U. N. inspectors...who were kicked out of the country prior to the second gulf war.  One of the primary causes of the war was the refusal of Iraq to cooperate with the U. N. on WMD supervision.  Once the inspectors were not allowed to inspect, and were actually kicked out of the country, then we don't know what the yellowcake is being used for, do we?  This material was found and secured by the U. S. Army during the invasion.  It was secured by teams of specialists, and was safely transported out of Iraq.  That is exactly how it happened.  I am sorry if the truth hampers your "Bush sucks" party, but facts are just that...facts.  Nonpartisan, nonjudgmental...facts. 

I can only assume that the Bush haters would agree that securing this precursor material and getting it out of Iraq was a good thing, as was destruction of chemical weapons, no matter who is the President.  Just as I would assume that the Obama haters would agree that killing OBL and securing massive intelligence on AQ is a good thing, no matter who is President.
